5 comments about The Craggy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It: Over the Edge and Back with My Dad, My Cat, and Me.

1. Parents, like all humans, are imperfect. When they die, we sometimes recall events, actions, and issues that make us question why we may have ever thought they loved us. Pets, on the other hand, come with no strings attached. They love unconditionally and are a source of joy that is boundless. Geneen covers losing both in the funny and touching book, which may offer healing and hope for those who have lost either.



2. I love this book and I often re-read it. Funny and clever writing. Easy to relate to and written with heart!



3. A beautiful and engaging story, this memoir deals with coming of age, learning to accept and give love, coming to terms with parents, and death and dying. Geneen Roth masterfully writes about many of life's large universal themes and puts them together expertly into a cohesive whole. This story will stick with you. This book is one of those rare gems to keep in your permanent library, one that will surely unfold a different lesson and mystery each time you read it.



4. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Geneen Roth is a very talented writer - I love the way she writes from her heart, letting others in her life, to help us learn and grow by seeing parts of ourselves in her life. This book has helped me get a grip on some emotions I've been dealing with for a long time. And in just a few days of reading I finished it with a stronger attachment to my own cats and appreciation for their place in my life, as well as for certain people in my life that I've so long taken for granted. Can't wait to read more from Geneen! I'm sharing this one with my mom, a cat-lover as well.



5. This was a great book and an easy read. It helps with understanding the feelings about our parents.

5 comments about Travelling Free: How to Recover From the Past.

1. A must read for anyone involved in the recovery field. As a Drug and Alcohol Counselor, I have read numerous books that are valuable and inspiring, but that frequently seem to be saying the same thing in only a slightly different way. TRAVELLING FREE, however brings readers to examine their past in a new and indeed freeing way so they can gain understanding and most importantly, move on! This is the most helpful book I've read and recommended to clients; it enables them to move through self-defeating belief systems that have been holding them back.



2. Travelling Free is a modest little gem packed with a wealth of rich information. In a day of abundant self-help books, this one could go unnoticed in its rather unassuming package. However, for anyone really interested in "doing the work" of releasing the emotional weight that binds us, this is a treasure. Mandy shares with you a host of experiential exercises, that if followed provides the reader with invaluable personal information. Her work is deep and insightful, coming from the wisdom of long experience. In her casual, yet profound style she provides us with a clear pathway to exploring the inner landscape of our self-defeating beliefs, and equips us with the tools to change them.
   If you're serious about change, don't overlook this one!



3. Travelling Free is for anyone and everyone who struggles to let go of things from their past. Mandy Evans' unique insight and helpful stories from real life guide you to an understanding of the beliefs that continue to limit your life. It is enjoyable to read, uplifting and absolutely usable. I have had my copy for over a decade and I re-read it from time to time just to remind myself of the possibilities available to me. This book is positive and pracitcal. There's no fluff in Travelling Free - just the helpful tools you need to fly.



4. Travelling Free is a book that provides 12 written exercises for you to systematically find out what old patterns or beliefs are running your life and causing unhappiness.
   I take out a pen and paper with each chapter and find myself getting happier. The tried and true questions and exercises are taken from the author's 20 years of experience working with people privately and in workshops around the country.
   This book has a freshness to it and before you realize it, you're actually shedding emotional baggage so you really can travel free.
   My well worn copy of this book has stayed by my bedside for 10 years and I sleep peacefully because of it.



5. Better read Emotional options. It has not good structure, and is not as clear as the second book.

2 comments about The Secrets of Happiness: Three Thousand Years of Searching for the Good Life.

1. This is a superb book! I agree entirely with the two editorial reviews. This is a seriuous discussion of what is truly a happy and meaningful life. The author rejects the "science of happiness" where happiness is defined as simply pleasure and contentment and subjectively "feeling good." He describes the essential views on happiness of utilitarians, epicureans, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians,Muslims, the stoics and Judaism, fairly and sympathetically, how they are similar and how they differ, and what we all can learn from each approach.



2. Is the new 'science' of happiness resulting in further dissatisfaction in life? New age teachers would offer up happiness as a consumer right, but The Secrets of Happiness by Richard Schoch shows it isn't that easy - and contends such happiness must be found from within. Philosophy and religion blend in a survey which considers how happiness is conceived, pursued, and misconstrued. "The Secrets of Happiness" is an insightful, informed, thoughtful and though-provoking self-help book that is especially commended to the attention of non-specialist general readers seeking simple happiness in an ever increasingly complicated world.

5 comments about The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams and Reaching Your Destiny.

1. For anyone to tell you what to do would be absurd. We all have different situations. What Robin Sharma has done is create a way to enlighten yourself through the characters in his fable. I have been very pleased with his books and have bought them as gifts for my friends. It's not Zen but it creates an opportunity for you to review your life, your influences, your past and the contemplation of your future.
   
   Through his book "The Monk who sold his Ferrari" I have found that I don't need someone to tell me the direction I need to go. I can do it on my own through introspective analysis. Call me crazy but I left a 150K a year job to become a school shop teacher. His books are about figuring it out for yourself. I've found my happiness teaching my hobbies.



2. I enjoyed this book, with reservations. It's an odd blend of (mostly) Buddhist philosophy with the sort of self-help pep talk preferred by corporate go-getters. At times it reminded me of reading the Dalai Lama, at others, a Franklin-Covey leadership session.
   
   The parable is a little facile, and the dialog naive-- but the overall thrust benign and even helpful. It may well be a doorway to a better path for many who read it. If you've never encountered Eastern philosophy before but are already a fan of corporate pep talks, you may find this a real treat.



3. International best-seller, "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" is a short fable or story about a high powered lawyer who suffers a personal loss and embarks on a life of workaholism, materialism and emptiness. When he suffers a life threatening heart attack he determines to put the essential luxuries of purpose, peace and happiness back into his life. He travels to the Himalayas and spends time with the Sivana monks, who teach him wisdom of life.
   
   This book is chock full of simple habits and rituals to include in one's life to nurture your body, mind and spirit. The advice within is compellingly framed and concise, making use of symbolism to remember the key concepts.
   
   Picture the following sequence. What can this mean?
   
   You are sitting in a wondrous, beautiful flower garden. In the middle there is a red, six story lighthouse. Suddenly, there is a creaking from the base of the lighthouse and out comes a 290lb Japanese sumo wrestler. He is wearing a simple, pink wire cable sheath. The sumo wrestler spots a shiny stopwatch. He picks it up and immediately falls to the ground. It appears that he has taken his last breath, when suddenly he comes back to life. He then gets up and looks over at a beautiful group of yellow roses nearby. Finally, he exits the garden by a path of beautiful diamonds...
   
   How can you draw upon your deep reservoir of mental fortitude and inner strength that you possess? As most accomplished people know, never stop learning and actively expand your wisdom about life. As many great leaders do each and every day, take time out for reflection, including self-reflection. To not do so is akin to being too busy driving to put gas in your (beautiful) car (you). Awaken with the sun and cultivate a positive mindset and an attitude of gratefulness. Savor the present. Make music an integral part of your life. Build your character by taking specific actions. Simplify your life as much as you can for enhanced peace of mind. Thus, you will leave time for the things that matter most. Specifically, those things that will make the most difference in the long run. Always cultivate your virtues of industry, compassion, humility, patience, honesty and last but not least, courage.
   
   This little gem of a book is inexpensive. It's entertaining. It's a quick read. It will be three hours of your valuable time very well spent. You might learn nothing new. Or, perhaps you will see your life more clearly than ever before. Perhaps you will be pleasantly surprised and this book will unexpectedly improve the quality of your life.



4. I Had previously read the book and I loved it so much that I bought it from Amazon.com. It is an excellent book to have on your night table and a tool to implement good things into your life. Certainly brings you enlightment and help to improve your life!



5. Its amazing that all of these books say the same thing the Bible says but people would rather trust a human for advice than their maker. I give this book 4 stars because it does follow the Bible. It may sound off the wall to some but that would depend on their desperation.

5 comments about Emotional Clearing: An East / West Guide to Releasing Negative Feelings and Awakening Unconditional Happiness.

1. I have read Emotional Clearing over the past year and have been extremely inspired by it. It is definitely the best new age book I've read, and I've read quite a lot. The concept of acceptance has been essential for me because for 21 years I've suffered terribly with anxiety, stress, and panic attacks. I've always fought it and suppressed it with alcohol and became as a result alcohol dependent. The book has given me relief from the attacks and I've been sober for 10 out of the past 12 months.

4. John Ruskan has put together a very well thought out system of understanding feelings, karma and life. He has been working at this for quite some time, but the material has a timeless quality. I've read the book twice and took a great deal more from it the second time. There is something the rings true about karma and how our suppressed feelings and conditioned patterns attract that which is needed for them to come to the surface and give us the opportunity to grow through them. Of course, sometimes we do not chose or are not able to grow through difficult feelings. Emotional Clearing offers a deep, thorough treatment of the concepts that underly the challenage of this universal truth. Thus, this book helped me grasp the very spiritual nature of self work. I'm indebted to Ruskan for this, simply put. This book is not, gratefully, scientific or academic. Yet it is precisely assembled and thorough, affected by Ruskan's well-organized logic, but also by his practiced access to feelings, instinct and intuition. The modality he has developed takes the theory further by offering therapeutic techniques that are based on long standing practices. Like yoga, like breathwork. So it is more than theory. If you want a book or process or modality that also guides you directly to effective action, this book does that. But don't get me wrong, the theory can occupy a thoughtful person for quite some time too. I would know, having found the book two years ago and finding myself still involved with it and even now using my experience with it as a jumping off point for writing and working. There has been a decided improvement in the flow of my life since first discovering Ruskan's website and then buying the book. For spirtual seekers and people wanting to improve thier life in a deep, authentic, sustainable manner, this book is effective.



5. This book is what it is: an unambiguous & insightful summary of why & how we struggle so much. I'm still reading it (trying to savor every sentence), but I doubt I've ever been happier about any other purchase.

5 comments about The Circle of Simplicity: Return to the Good Life.

1. I picked up this book after reading about it on the Simple Living network, which I found as an outgrowth of my interest in the work of the late Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin and their work "Your Money or Your Life". Unlike Mr. Dominguez and Ms. Robin, who manage to lay out an actual plan for simple living, Ms. Andrews chooses to ramble and rail against consumerism. After reading Dominguez, this book is disjointed, preachy and quite frankly, bad. That's not so say that Ms. Andrews doesn't have some good ideas. She does, but as with so many anecdotal books, they're not the basis for changing your life in any significant way. If you live an environmentally sensitive life, Ms. Andrews will certainly make you feel good about yourself, but if your goal is to simplify your life, you could do better than spending time on this book.



2. I'm surprised at the negative reviews of this book -- I've found it very inspiring. While it doesn't lay out a plan for the individual, it lays out a process for engaging with other folks to work toward a simpler, yet more fulfilling, life. In my personal experience, such a "support group" is vital to both mainitaining the focus on simplifying, and in enriching your world.



3. I first read this book about five years ago when I was yearning for SOMETHING in my life, but didn't know quite what. Cecile seemed to have read my mind and outlined the very needs of someone caught up in the "junk" of life -- both mentally and physcially -- and gave solid ways of untangling one's life. If you heard of "voluntary simplicity" but haven't yet caught the wave, this book is a wonderful introduction to the concept and will lead you on to learn more. You will see your life in a new light after the seed of simplicity is planted in your mind.



4. This book provides a broad overview of some of the issues behind the Simplicity movement. The author, Cecile Andrews set up a number of Simplicity study circles near her home in the Northwest. This book reveals some of the factors that led her to become interested in Simplicity as well as her ideas of how Simplicity study circles might work. Much of the beginning of the book provides justification for adopting Simplicity. Andrews enumerates problems such as hyper-consumption, environmental degradation, and personal isolation. She also explores possible actions we could take to solve these problems, such as consciously building community with other people and the earth, finding ways to express our spirituality, and restructuring our economic system to make it more environmentally and socially friendly. In the last part of the book, she describes the idea of Simplicity study circles, the benefits that might be gained from participating in one, and how a study circle should operate. She also provides a 10-week study plan based on the earlier material in the book.
   
   Although I agree with the ideas in this book, I found the book rather disappointing in content. Much of the discussion is either so personal as to be hard to generalize, or else a superficial summary of other more substantial texts. For example, Andrews frequently refers to findings of Juliet Schor; readers would have more material for discussion by reading Schor's works directly. Some of Andrews' suggestions for addressing problems are rather inappropriate. To draw attention to hyper-consumerism, she suggests surreptitiously clothes-pinning tags with messages like "You don't really need this, do you?" inside articles of clothing in shops. While I'm all for trying to get people to become more aware of their needless purchases, I don't think messing with the property of individual store owners is an acceptable way to go about the mission. Her suggestions for reforming our economic system would be great in an ideal state, but until we are run by a benevolent socialist dictator, I don't think they can realistically be put into action. It would be better to focus our efforts on goals that are conceivably achievable. Overall, while I found the topic of this book interesting, I think there are numerous other books on the topic of Simplicity that are better implemented, starting with Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin's "Your Money or Your Life". It's hard to tell from this book if Andrews can take credit for originating Simplicity study groups such as those run by the Northwest Earth Institute. If so, she certainly deserves credit for her efforts in that area, but I don't think there's enough substantial material in this volume to use as background reading for an effective study group by itself.



5. This book is well written in my opinion, and most of the points are well made. I'll think twice before my next trip to a department store. I hate shopping anyway. I'd rather read a good book (like hers) or strive to write one.
   
   That said, I have to confess that this book got my political dander up. A lot of immigrants to America went through trouble to get away from political systems such as the author seems to favor. Perhaps nations with heavy taxation are more benevolent than those where people can keep more of the money they earn; I don't know how benevolence is measured, but it seems that the author is right about this. But is there a causal relation? I doubt it. Will raising our taxes make us more good-hearted? I doubt it.
   
   I am motivated to creativity because of the prospect that I can earn money from writing. I hope someday to be well-off enough to make donations to charities and causes of my own choice. All too often, governments waste the money they collect from their working people, or spend it in ways that damage the environment on a larger scale than any corporation ever did. (Witness what happened in parts of eastern Europe during the socialist experiments of the 1900s.)
   
   I agree with the author that the obsessive pursuit of vast wealth, with complete disregard for everything else, would not take place in a more enlightened society. But old-school socialism was a failure. It did not become Utopia. The new bosses proved no better than the old, and some would say they were worse.
   
   Simplicity is great! Thoreau said, "Simplify, simplify!" Good idea! But didn't Thoreau go to jail for refusal to pay taxes? I've read his work, and I suspect he'd be a libertarian, not a socialist, if he were alive today. Governments, too, can simplify, and they can start by letting people mind their own business and not taking their money and using it to tell them how to live ...
   
   Overall, I recommend this book, because it really got me thinking. That, in itself, is good enough to qualify a work as "good" by my standard, whether I agree with the author or not.

4 comments about The Healing Power of the Past: A New Approach to Healing Family Wounds.

1. This book is a comprehensive explanation of the origins and current practice of Systemic Family Constellations as developed by Bert Hellinger. It explains the basic elements, and why and how it works in easy-to-understand language. Examples of actual Constellations are used throughout the book, and there is a chapter on Family Dynamics in the USA. If you want to read one book that explains what Family Constellations are, this is the one.



2. Reviewed by Michelle Anne Cox-Lomas for Reader Views (1/07)
   
   Anyone who is involved in dynamic psychology will enjoy the new techniques for healing past relationship traumas in "The Healing Power of the Past" by Bertold Ulsamer Ph.D. You will learn about the research and true case studies of how "Constellations" work. The idea and practice of constellations as a healing technique, especially for deep psychological problems rooted in family situations, was first put into practice by Bert Hellinger. Both Bertold Ulsamer Ph.D. and Bert Hellinger are popular and well-known figures in the European communities. Bert Hellinger taught Bertold Ulsamer how to use his constellation technique and Mr. Ulsamer was often a representative at the various workshops.
   
   As Bertold Ulsamer saw how important these techniques were, he decided to put into literary form all Bert Hellinger's ideas and practices so that we too may begin to understand many new things about ourselves...and our past.
   
   "The Healing Power of the Past" was first written in the German language back in 1999. Sheila Saunders edited and translated it into English and it became available for the first time to the English speaking audience in 2005. She did an excellent job, for this work is very important and super insightful. Psychology in general is mysterious and the constellation technique is even more so.
   
   Did you know that you could be suffering a psychological problem due to something your great, great, great, grandfather or grandmother experienced in their lives? It seems that the old saying, "The sins of the parents are passed on down to the child." comes into true form when you read and research this book. A lot of it does make sense and some of it is hard to believe, but, in many situations, nothing else makes sense as to why some people go through the traumas that they do in their lives. Many, many examples are given in each chapter and I liked that a lot, for it helped me to understand their important theories. I enjoyed reading the true life examples and seeing how they put the pieces of the psychological puzzles together.
   
   The practice of constellations is quite mysterious, for a client will come into the office and there will be people there called representatives. This client will pick which people he/she wants to play which part in unveiling his/her life story. Imagine you are the client and you go to the doctor because you have a problem with your family. Let us say that they are just not getting along and you feel like you have to be the person who always has to be strong and help them to get along. Ok, you pick a representative for your mother, one to play your father, one to play the part of your sister etc. then they all stand up and you decide where in the room you want them each to be and which way they should stand (facing or not) each other. You also pick a person to represent yourself and then you sit down and watch. You do not tell any of them anything about your situation with your family, they somehow each will pick up on what is called "The Knowing Field" and they will be able to "feel" what has been going on. You just simply observe. Most of the time, they will know which way to look at each other and the therapist will help guide them into a more healing way of being. There is also a language that the therapist helps them with in order to heal and honor each other. As you observe the healing taking place and when, or if, you feel that you would like to take out your representative and take your own place within the group, then you can do so, but it is not mandatory that you do that. You can simply observe and watch the healing interaction take place.
   
   You will learn so many things about yourself and the people in your family through this deep psychological book. Constellations can be done between two people, or with a large group of people. It all depends on the situation that needs to be uncovered and healed through.
   
   There were many amazing things that I learned that I never even had thought about before, especially the fact that we can be carrying around a type of psychological DNA energy from our ancestors that can effect how we think and act today. It made me think about how to be a better parent to my own children so that they don't have to carry around any emotional baggage left over from me. This one point alone and the examples that "The Healing Power of the Past" gives, which are many, makes this book a real eye opener.



3. The author puts into simple terms the entire concept of generational entanglement. The BEST explanation I've ever found! While reading, so many times I was able to relate my own experience to what was being discussed. Very reasonable! If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of Bertold's workshops I highly recommend doing so! Read the book, attend and participate. Finally, you'll be able to break free of negative/destructive patterns of behavior! buy a copy of the book for anyone who's open to changing the negatives in one's life.



4. Sehr klare Sprache. Nicht esoterisch. Kleine, überschaubare Kapitel. Man versteht sehr , sehr gut wie eine Familie funktioniert und welche Lasten uns wohlmöglich von Geburt an belasten können...und das man diese Lasten gut lösen kann.

5 comments about What's Your Dosha, Baby?: Discover the Vedic Way for Compatibility in Life and Love.

1. While reseaching information on Ayurveda & Dosha's, I came across Lisa Marie's whatisyourdosha.com, which turned out to be very interesting. With an easy quiz, you can find which Dosha fits your personality and get a basic understanding of what it is all means.
   Her new book, "What's you Dosha, Baby?" is a wonderful guide to understanding how you fit within this Dosha and how it works within your lifestyle. Most highly valued is the information on compatability with anyone in your life. Other suggestions cover best forms of exercise for you mind/body type as well as foods best suited. It is a wonderful way to introduce oneself to this ancient pratice/belief way of living.



2. When I got this book I had just hoped to get informed about the various ways to improve life by learning new principles of mind & body. However, after reading it, I'm amazed by the wealth of information I got. Deepak Chopra has rightly said on the front page of the book that Coffey brings the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda to a contemprary audience and shows us how to discover more about ourselves and our relationships. I totally agree with his words and word like to congratulate Lisa Marie Coffey for coming up with such a profoundly amazing book!



3. When I first picked up this book, I expected to learn something about Ayurveyda, my "dosha", and considerations regarding my health, diet and well-being. This book was very informative in this regard and presents the information in a way that westerners can understand. I was pleasantly surprised to read further that Ayurveda has something to say about relationships. By understanding the nature of each dosha, I can apply the understanding to all of my relationships. This book is an enjoyable read and I learned something new.



4. Who would have thought that the ancient Vedic health science system from India could give rise to a highly effective and hip Western guide to creating successful, harmonious, and exciting relationships!
   
   WHAT'S YOUR DOSHA, BABY? does that and more. Take the quiz and learn your dosha. Take the quiz and learn about the dosha of your significant other. Bring greater harmony and joy to your relationship than you could have dreamed. The principles apply across the board - business relationships, the sister you never quite understood, the relationship patterns you'd like to do differently and with more satisfaction.
   
   I'm giving this book to everyone on my holiday list.



5. Lisa Marie does an amazing job of taking ancient knowledge and putting it in easy to understand language. This book is a quick read with a wealth of information that is easy to understand and apply now!

5 comments about The Hard Questions.

1. I can say a lot of these questions are a bit more obvious - but there are a handful that completely make this worth the purchase. My fiance and I ended up buying another "question" type book just because of the conversations that came up and quite frankly, even a few of the questions which seemed to have obvious answers provided a lot of side tangents which proved invaluable.
   
   I highly recommend this book!



2. I agree with the premise of the book, which is that using a book of questions to provoke thought and conversations that a couple may not have thought of on their own or encountered yet can help reveal a lot about the relationship. But, the questions in this book are not hard at all- most of them are obvious and are things you can come up on your own even if someone just gave you the subject of the chapter. There are better question books out there that present a lot more thought-provoking list then this for more in depth conversation then this book would startg. Other reviewers who gave similar ratings already gave plenty of examples of this if you want more detail.



3. This is a book that all couples should read before getting married. I have given it to each of my grown children before their weddings. They said it helped with deciding on what they & their partner was looking for & expecting in the marriage. It touches on many topics that couples may not have thought about or discussed with one another. This book is a real Gem!



4. I must have been dating a questionable lady when I bought this maybe 7 years ago. Must have for those in doubt.



5. Very common sense questions, when you think about them, but we may not think to ask them.

3 comments about Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...And It's All Small Stuff: Simple Things To Keep The Little Things From Taking Over Your Life.

1. My name is Patrick Lane and I am a Sophomore currently enrolled at Loyola Marymount University. I decided to read this book for my interpersonal communications class and I am required to write a review for my final paper. I chose the book because I was interested in becoming a more optimistic, self confident person in order to become a better communicator and this book seemed to fit the bill. The book came off as an anger management guide at first glance. But soon after I began reading, it was clearly an aid to becoming a better communicator, whether that was its intention or not. I really enjoyed how clear and simple the topics were while also providing great insight. I can honestly say that this isn't a book that you become engrossed in, and I don't believe the author was trying to achieve that. This work seems to be, like I said before, more of a set of guidelines than a literary work. I would have like to have seen sections established and the chapters organized in some way based on what they were conveying. I felt that the length of the chapters were too short and ended rather abruptly leading to me to ask myself why the author did not go into more detail. While the organization was a little suspect, there were great values to be taken out of each chapter and life lessons that need to be taken to heart. The one lesson that stood out was from a chapter titled "Choose Your Battles Wisely". Great insight for any relationship whether it be with a brother, sister, friend, or a life long partner. A specific quote from that chapter says, "If you choose your battles wisely, you'll be far more effective in winning those that are truly important." The book really made an impact on me. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who asks about it because it has such great advice to becoming a more optimistic person and skill communicator.



2. I really enjoy this audio CD because i can listen to it at work, in the car, when i walk, etc. The content is so helpful, it gives you ideas and practical ways to face your life. I think that this material help me to be a better person and live my life with less stress. Also i am learning not to stress myself with things that are not important.
   This is great!



3. I love this book because it reminds you that your life is determined by your attitude and perspective. Carlson gives you 100 simple ways to improve your life. I like to read one or two rules a day, keeping them in mind throughout the day.
